American Color Revolution: How Globalists Used Alinsky to Subvert Our Republic, and How We Save It.
Republished with permission from Mark Cook.
For more than a decade, the United States has endured a calculated color revolution orchestrated by globalist elites: WEF networks, Open Society Foundations, deep-state holdouts, and their corporate-media allies. The objective was never “democracy.” It was the methodical dismantling of national sovereignty, constitutional order, and the American republic itself, replacing it with a compliant node in a borderless technocratic system. Many of their tactics came straight from Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: personalize and polarize the target (Rule 13), ridicule without mercy (Rule 5), apply relentless pressure (Rule 8), force the enemy to live up to its own rules (Rule 4), and push every negative until it flips (Rule 11).
The revolution nearly succeeded. It was halted only by the awakening of the American people, and it will not be fully reversed until citizens themselves seize direct, transparent control of the elections that are the beating heart of self-governance.
Phase 1: Institutional Capture (2008–2015)
Barack Obama, trained in Alinsky-style organizing, accelerated the infiltration of media, academia, intelligence agencies, corporations (via ESG), and NGOs. Every institution that should have protected the republic was turned into a vector for the agenda.
Phase 2: The 2016 Backlash and Escalation (2016–2019)
Trump’s victory triggered full-spectrum Alinsky assault: the Russia collusion hoax, two phony impeachments, and nonstop ridicule of the President and supporters as fascist threats to “democracy.” In fact, the persistent overuse of the phrase “our democracy” continues to this day, often deployed to subtly downplay, or even erase, the foundational reality that the United States is a constitutional republic.
Phase 3: The 2020 Seizure – The Stolen Election and the Weaponization of Doubt
The 2020 election was the pivot point. The existing election ecosystem: centralized voter rolls, opaque electronic machines, mass mail-in ballots, private funding of election offices, and denial of real-time public access to records, was deliberately left ripe for abuse. And abuse it they did.
Ballot harvesting, unsecured drop boxes, algorithmic manipulation of tabulators, injection of unverifiable ballots, and coordinated censorship of any contrary evidence turned the election into a hybrid covert operation. The media-industrial complex then lied in unison: “the most secure election in American history.” Anyone who questioned the outcome was mocked, deplatformed, labeled a conspiracy theorist, and worse.
The most chilling example remains Tina Peters (@realtinapeters). The former Mesa County, Colorado clerk who dared to secure and examine her county’s voting machines in 2021, searching for proof of compromise, was criminally prosecuted, convicted on state charges by those coordinating with the at-the-time corrupt federal government actors, and subsequently sentenced to nine years in prison through an engineered trial and sentenced by one of their controlled judges. Even after President Trump issued a full pardon in December 2025, Colorado’s embedded regime refused to release her. She remains behind bars today. That single case proves the corruption is not just federal; it is baked into state and local machinery that still answers to the old order.
This was Alinsky in action: personalize the threat (election skeptics = “insurrectionists”), ridicule them, keep unrelenting pressure, and make examples of anyone who tries to audit the system.
Phase 4: Consolidation (2021–2023)
With power secured, the revolution weaponized lawfare, ESG corporate mandates, Big Tech censorship, and cultural erasure through DEI and gender ideology. The media continued its role as enforcer, suppressing the Twitter Files, the Hunter Biden laptop verification delays, Epstein documents, and every subsequent revelation of interference.
Phase 5: Exposure, Counter-Revolution, and the Road Ahead (2024–2026)
The mask has now fallen. The Twitter Files, Catherine Herridge’s CBS disclosures, declassified documents, whistleblowers, and the public’s own eyes have exposed the machinery. Trump’s return, the collapse of legacy media credibility, and growing state-level resistance have turned the tide.
Yet the revolution is not defeated while the election system itself remains in enemy hands.
The Declaration That Points the Way Out
The American Citizens Declaration of Independence from Election Manipulation, the foundational document of the
Hand Count Road Show, lays bare the problem and the solution in plain language.
It identifies the relentless pattern of abuses: complex electronic machines that hide the count, centralized control that removes local oversight, unlimited absentee ballots that invite fraud, denial of public access to records, dark-money influence, disinformation, insider threats, and foreign/domestic infiltration.
The fix is stunningly simple, proven secure for centuries, and verifiable by any citizen regardless of education or means:
- County-level in-person voter registration with ID and periodic in-person re-verification
- Hand-marked paper ballots
- Small precincts (≤1,500 voters)
- In-person voting with ID on a single national holiday (except rigorously vetted absentee)
- Translucent ballot containers
- Scanned ballot images at the precinct
- Public hand-counting by bipartisan citizen teams in full view and under camera at the precinct before ballots are moved
- Immediate posting of precinct-level results on election night
- Full publication of ballot images, tally sheets, chain-of-custody logs, and video within 2 days of the election
- Open public audits, including students learning civics by re-tallying ballots
These methods are not radical. They are a return to the transparent, local, citizen-controlled elections that built the republic. They eliminate the attack surface that globalists exploited for decades. And they are achievable county-by-county, state-by-state, right now. In fact, the Progressive Election Platform (PEP) that Mark Cook put together even utilizes technology, but in the right manner, to create a system that is transparent and verifiable instead of opaque and built on blind mandated trust.
The Hand Count Road Show exists to make this happen: public briefings, demonstrations, workgroups with officials and sheriffs, and grassroots organizing to reclaim county control of elections. Citizens are urged to share the Declaration everywhere, attend the public events and private training sessions, demand hand-count pilot programs, and hold their local officials accountable.
The Final Truth
The color revolution succeeded in 2020 because the people no longer controlled the count. Every other victory exposing the media, draining parts of the swamp, or electing real American Citizens, will be only temporary until that control is restored.
Until American Citizens take direct, hands-on, transparent ownership of their elections through hand-counted paper ballots under public scrutiny, the republic remains vulnerable to destruction. The globalists will simply wait for the next cycle, refine their tactics, and strike again.
The counter-revolution is here. The Declaration is written. The Road Show is rolling.
